The Common Core Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) (National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and Council of State School Officers (CCSSO), 2010) include both content standards and pedagogical practices to support teachers in developing mathematical proficiency in their students. Challenges for successfully integrating dynamic mathematics software are described with suggestions for training and support. Specific mathematic content examples are described using these three resources to model the use of dynamic mathematics software for learning mathematics. This chapter outlines how dynamic mathematics software supports the CCSSM. The Geometer’s Sketchpad®, TinkerPlots®, and Fathom® are examples of dynamic mathematics software.

Dynamic geometry software or more generally, dynamic mathematics software, provides visible and tangible representations of mathematical concepts that can be dragged and manipulated to discover underlying properties, investigate patterns and relationships, and develop deeper understandings of the concepts.

AbstractThe Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) include overarching Standards for Mathematical Practice that cite dynamic geometry® software as one of the tools mathematically proficient students should know how to use strategically.
